Poetry Zooms In: On the Sacred in Persons and World by Carroll E. Arkema (Englis

Description: Poetry Zooms In by Carroll E. Arkema ""A poem can capture a moment, / Zoom in on an instant in time / Otherwise lost in the ongoing rush / Of a life not experienced in rhyme."" These poems can fortify your soul, help you see deeply into persons and the world, and be mindful of Sacred Presence in the supposedly mundane world. The poems zoom in to see evidence of the Sacred in nature; in the human healing journey from brokenness to wholeness. They lament the tragic results of humans setting themselves up as sacred or ultimate, and they contemplate the mystery of death as part of the souls journey of transformation. Savor them, see something of what I see or even more, and be fascinated by the presence of the Sacred even in something like the way a house wren builds its nest. I focus in some poems on what the night reveals, but most of my poems are suffused with deep delight, contemplative wonder, and transformative joy--each in their own now autonomous way. Theyre free of me. Now over to you! FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Carroll E.

Review "This collection invites us into memory and the deep emotions it can evoke. The poem Cornfield Mystery does this for me. We are guided to contemplate lifes mystery and wonders and their Source by this sensitive and spiritually grounded poet." --Susan Bottorff, Licensed Clinical Social Worker "Poetry Zooms In is a collection that puts a brake on life. Arkema has woven a web of humanity, touched our souls, made us one with the simplicity of rural life, lifted the ordinary, and left us to examine our own stories." --Pat OHara, flash fiction writer "With heartful tenderness and courage, Arkema asks us to look again at the most forgettable moments. Grace abounds on these pages, as Arkema, in a therapy session, in nature, or on the street with a stranger, invites us to the wonder and possibility of changing our mind and seeing the ever-present possibility of abundance. You will be inspired and happily surprised to find that all you thought was missing is right where you are." --Leslye Noyes, Jungian Analyst (IAAP) "This collection of narrative poems carries us, the readers, under the surface of the moments that constitute our lives, to see and feel rich truths. Arkema . . . walks the reader through personal experiences he has had while reflecting with emotional and spiritual depth. We are brought along step by step and are enriched by the company of this poet." --Dorothea Crites, LMFT, Pastoral Psychotherapist "Poetry Zooms In lifts my heart and calms my mind. . . . All the poems in this collection are insightful and instill great comfort during these stressful times." --Kathleen Mooney, Adult Nurse Practitioner-Certified (ANP-C), retired Review Quote "This collection invites us into memory and the deep emotions it can evoke.
